Allegan Fog Herrema 2000
A very unusual hosta with white centered leaves, edged in medium
green. The white center is misted with tiny green speckles. In the
summer, the white area of the leaf gradually turns green. It seems
to be more vigorous than many white centered hostas and forms a good
size clump fairly rapidly. Lavender flowers.

502300 American
Sweetheart Hansen 2002
The tetraploid form of ‘Sea Thunder’. It has the same green
margins and white center as it’s parent, but because it is a
tetraploid, the leaves are larger and thicker, with a wider dark
green margin, making the plant more vigorous. And because of
the thicker leaf, the white center holds up better in the heat.
The leaves are also held more upright than its parent and the
lavender flowers are larger. I think this is one of the best of the
newer introductions.

502900 Antioch Ruh/Hofer 1979
If you haven’t seen this plant you might assume from its description
that it is just another white variegated Fortunei type - ‘Silver
Crown’, ‘North Hills’, ‘White Edge’, and so on. They are all good
plants and all just a bit different, but plant them all together and
you can spot ‘Antioch’ from 30 feet. It has won multiple awards from
the Hosta Society, and going back through my copies of the Journal,
I could not find a year when it wasn’t ranked highly on the
popularity poll, right up there with all the expensive new
introductions. I like ‘Antioch’ because it has an informal look to
it, large pointed green leaves that arch nearly to the ground, with
wide, irregular margins of creamy white. Each leaf is different, and
a mature clump is really beautiful. Lavender flowers.
